Shrimp Lemon Pepper Linguine and Chateau Ste Michelle Riesling

This is another recipe from my cooking group. This pasta dish turned out great. It had such a nice lemon flavor that was perfect for a hot summer night. I served this with a great Riesling. The wine was Chateau Ste Michelle from Columbia Valley Washington. Many Rieslings that I have tried recently have been too sweet. I felt that this wine had just a hint of sweetness, and wasn't too dry. It might become my favorite summer wine. It's also great that it was inexpensive!!

The pasta dish was from allrecipes.com. My changes are in blue.

For the wine in the dish I used a Pinot Grigio.
